How do you define a successful deer season?
I understand everyone has their own reasons whether their deer season was successful. I also believe there is no right/wrong answer here.
Simple question: Do you have to shoot a deer to have successful season?
Personally, my answer is Yes. If I failed to meet my objective, in this case, shooting a deer, then my season was unsuccessful.
Did I have a great time? Yes
Did I enjoy the comrauderie with my sons and friends? Yes
Did I truly enjoy my time spent in the deer woods? Yes
Did I fully appreciate the anticipation of the upcoming season? Yes
Did I enjoy the time spent with 2 grandsons, appreciating the fact that these young hunters are now an important part of our hunting camp? Yes
Did I shoot a deer? No
Was my hunting season a success? No
